Universiti Teknologi Petronas

The new academic complex was designed by Foster and Partners, and the first-phase construction was completed in 2004.[8] The design received an Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2007. The overall layout of the new academic complex is in the shape of a five-pointed star made up by five semicircles. The new academic complex was officially opened by the former chairman of PETRONAS and ITPSB Board, YBhg Tun Azizan Zainul Abidin. Currently, almost all of the academic activities have been shifted to the new campus. A ‘star concept’ diagram, overlaying vision, site, programme and quality, was used as a template to zone various facilities and initiate the preliminary design,[8]

An-Nur Mosque, also known as the floating mosque, was completed in 2005.

The Chancellor Hall of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS is part of the academic complex that was designed by the British architectural design and engineering firm, Foster and Partners.

The university has a centralised sport facilities, commonly known as the sports complex. It consists of a swimming pool, several football fields, three futsal courts, three takraw courts, five basketball courts, five tennis courts, three volleyball courts, four squash courts, three badminton courts, a jogging track and a netball court.

UTP strongly encourages its students' development in sectors outside of academic and sports. There are varieties of clubs and societies for students to enrol in based on their passion, such as contemporary music, traditional music, dance, photography, gamelan, and string ensemble clubs. The practice rooms and studios for the clubs are located in a block next to the sports complex. Among the biggest events include the Tapestry of Colours annual concerts, Festival of Colours of the World, International Festival of Gamelan, and Euphonious: Inter-varsity Battle of the Bands. The clubs also regularly send their teams abroad to join world-class competitions such as Cheonan World Dance Festival in South Korea and Istanbul Folk Dance and Music Festival in Turkey. The gamelan club Sanggar Kirana has produced two albums to date with repertoires of old and newly composed gamelan songs, which are Gatra Kirana I and Gatra Kirana II.

The foundation programmes are offered for students that enrol to UTP with SPM level or other equivalent levels to prepare them for degree programmes. Newly enrolled students with STPM level or other equivalent levels are exempted from the foundation programmes. Other newly enrolled diploma graduates are exempted from certain courses according to their academic performance and courses taken during their diploma programmes.

Currently, UTP offers three foundation programmes, seven bachelor engineering degree programmes, three science degree programmes, three bachelor technology degree programmes and one bachelor business management degree programme.

The foundation programmes offered in UTP are engineering foundation programme, science foundation programme and technology foundation programme. As the names suggest, these foundation programmes prepare students to pursue their degree programmes.

The engineering degree programmes take a total of four years to complete (including internship), while science and technology degree programmes take three and a half years. All engineering students are welcomed to enroll in Management minor starting academic year of 2009. There are currently 14 degree programmes offered by the university as follows:

The R&D building consists of 65 laboratories and offices at every floor. It will be occupied by two main UTP Mission Oriented Research, namely Carbon Dioxide Management and Enhanced Oil Recovery.

UTP offers one of the longest industrial internship programmes in the country. The students are posted as interns for 28 weeks (approximately 7 months). The length of the internship duration allows students to engage in more significant work assignments and is widely thought as a major strength of the academic curriculum.
